Of which I am persuaded

Want to know what I really think? Read on.

I believe in the absolute sufficiency and authority of scripture for life and conduct, being persuaded of the continued relevance of Biblical preaching into and addressing the needs of contemporary culture.

I believe in the all-sufficiency of Jesus Christ alone to mediate between God and humanity to effect salvation and redemption from sin.

I believe in the continued work of one Holy Spirit in renewal of one church; and that the ongoing empowering of the Holy Spirit is necessary for all believers.

I keenly endorse the concept of the priesthood of all believers within the church. I believe in the exercise of gifts and ministries variously in the Body as the Spirit wills, within good order and peace.

I believe that entry into the gathered church is by repentance, confession of faith and believer’s baptism.

I believe the role of a minister is to lead by persuasion and consent, working in a team environment, encouraging, facilitating and mobilising every believer into full participation in pilgrim obedience.

I am persuaded that the coming of the Lord is imminent and that we must therefore be mindful, sober and vigilant and make the most of every opportunity to win souls for Christ and kingdom.
